Chapter 148: One person, one starship, suppressing an entire fleet!

Next.

Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi saw a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

The pirate fleet that had beaten her and her own fleet into a rout, leaving them without even the strength to fight back.

At this very moment.

Was being torn apart and crushed by just a single starship.

One pirate starship after another was scared out of its wits, scattering in all directions to flee.

But no matter how they tried to escape.

They could not escape being forcefully suppressed by this starship, which could only be described as a god!

Every single one that tried to run.

Was effortlessly hit by a few shells from him, directly knocking out their engines and leaving them completely dead in the water.

And those that didn't manage to escape in time.

Were killed in a single exchange!

Regardless of whether the opponent was a scout ship or a frigate!

All of them—

Instantly killed!!!

As for those mechanical starships...

Well.

Since both the main and secondary cannons were firing.

Those mechanical starships were simply blown to pieces by the Brilliant's anti-aircraft guns...

It was simply...

Outrageous opening the door for outrageous—

It was outrageous to the extreme!

In total.

It didn't take more than ten minutes.

The remaining pirate starships.

Every single one!

Not a single exception!

Were all easily dealt with by Xu Zi'an!

Everyone fell silent.

Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi also fell silent.

Staring at all this with a blank gaze.

She suddenly felt...

That the talent she had always been quite proud of...

At this very moment.

Had been crushed into dust.

Even though she had been defeated by Xu Zi'an last time.

And had also been instantly killed.

But...

It was nowhere near as shocking as it was now!

That...

Was a fleet led by assault ships!!!

An entire fleet!

Wiped out by just one starship.

Without a single one left in ten minutes.

And looking at the Brilliant?

It hadn't even had its energy shield broken...

To put it bluntly.

There wasn't even a single scratch left on the Brilliant's hull!!!

A massacre.

A one-sided massacre.

Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi watched all this in silence.

Xu Zi'an, however, paid no mind to this.

After taking out these starships.

He flew rapidly over to that assault ship.

At top speed, he scavenged the most valuable parts from it and loaded them into the Brilliant's cargo hold.

Afterwards...

Without saying a word.

He directly activated his pulse jump and vanished from the spot in an instant.

It seemed...

It seemed like he was running away!

The fleet captains who were just about to properly thank Xu Zi'an were left completely dumbfounded.

Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi was also stunned. This Xu Zi'an...

Why did he run off without saying a single word?

Her bright eyes were filled with huge question marks.

Never mind.

This time...

He had saved her.

And at the same time, he had made her see herself clearly.

And recognize herself.

Just how much of a gap...

Still existed between her and a true monster-level genius!

However...

She was not discouraged by this.

On the contrary, the more powerful Xu Zi'an was, the more it gave her the urge to surpass him!

At the very least.

She now completely regarded Xu Zi'an as the target she would chase!

She would not give up.

Until she caught up to Xu Zi'an!

Her gaze instantly became firm.

It wasn't until about ten minutes after Xu Zi'an had left.

That the other starships finally arrived late.

But this couldn't be blamed on them.

One light-year...

Was truly not close.

Faster-than-light travel was simply impossible.

To travel one light-year faster than light?

How many times faster than light would you have to be to cover the distance light travels in a year?

A pulse jump was not teleportation either.

It required time.

When the academy's starships arrived one after another.

They only saw a field of wreckage that had been blown apart.

After some inquiries...

These teachers and students who had come to provide support.

Also fell silent one by one.

And among the students who came to support.

Were the special recruits from the special training camp!

At this very moment!

They were all dumbfounded.

Stupefied!!!

Originally.

Because Xu Zi'an was their savior.

They had never challenged Xu Zi'an again.

Even the top spot on the freshman leaderboard was tacitly left unchallenged.

Even though they believed they could have succeeded in a challenge.

But 2,000 points was not a small amount, yet compared to the debt of saving their lives, it was nothing.

So they had always believed!

That not competing with Xu Zi'an for the top spot on the freshman leaderboard.

Was a way to repay Xu Zi'an for saving their lives!

But now...

They were all stunned.

No matter how confident they were.

They weren't confident enough to...

Instantly kill an assault ship with a Tier 1 frigate!

To the point of beating an entire fleet into the ground with one person and one ship!

Frigate level.

Actually wasn't much.

Because now, as long as they had enough evolution points.

Evolving to a frigate was a small matter.

Some even had enough evolution points but wanted to try out a Tier 9 scout ship, so they hadn't rushed to evolve to a frigate.

So.

A frigate wasn't a big deal.

But the key was!

A Tier 1 frigate wasn't a big deal, but wiping out a fleet with one person and one ship...

This was just too damn outrageous!

They weren't stupid.

They suddenly realized.

So...

He didn't need them to let him win at all!

Because...

They apparently couldn't beat him at all!!!

They couldn't compete for his top spot!

Tu Tu Zheyu, Yu Xiao, and Hu Hu Qiqi.

Were all silent.

They thought to themselves.

That when they were Tier 1 frigates.

Back when he was a Tier 1 frigate.

No matter what level the opponent's assault ship was.

As long as it wasn't just standing there letting them kill it...

No!

Even if it stood there without moving, letting them kill it!

They would absolutely have no way to instantly kill it!

So...

They reached a conclusion that left them very silent.

Xu Zi'an.

Was stronger than every one of them!

And.

Not just by a little bit!

Or to put it more simply!

They absolutely could not beat that assault ship right now.

And Xu Zi'an could instantly kill that assault ship.

Which meant...

Xu Zi'an could easily kill any one of them instantly!

Could this gap be bridged by just a little bit?

Dead silence.

An eerie quiet.

They suddenly remembered the bragging and the things they had said when they talked about Xu Zi'an before.

Their faces instantly turned bright red.

Including Hu Hu Qiqi.

She had even said with a relaxed expression and a casual tone at the time...

That after the special training, she would test Xu Zi'an's ability.

If he could last ten rounds in her hands, she would make friends with him...

Thinking of this sentence now.

Hu Hu Qiqi wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

It was too embarrassing.

Too shameful!

Fortunately.

Fortunately, it seemed no one else would know about this.

The students in the special training camp wouldn't spread it either.

Because they had all bragged like that, some even more intensely than her.

So of course, no one would be embarrassed enough to talk about it.

So...

Being embarrassed together was better than being embarrassed alone, right?

Hu Hu Qiqi comforted herself.

In her mind.

Xu Zi'an's figure appeared involuntarily.

She felt a bit lost.

Had this person...

Really become this powerful?

Powerful to the point...

That it even made her feel a bit listless?

On the other side.

Xu Zi'an was running away super fast.

He had to run fast.

To avoid them inviting him to go back together, what would he say?

If they went back together.

Although they wouldn't discover his other Brilliant ship as long as he didn't invite them onto the island.

But less trouble was always better.

Anyway.

This time, he had definitely made a huge profit.

It was like pie falling from the sky!

Another few thousand evolution points.

Making his dried-up evolution points rich again.

These evolution points.

Were enough for him to evolve all the Brilliant's main components.

To perfect quality!

However...

Xu Zi'an didn't want to disrupt his plans randomly.

Because of today's sudden battle.

The Brilliant's terrifying combat power.

Had even exceeded his expectations!

The combat power was stronger than he had imagined.

And today's battle proved that he was no longer so easily killed.

Xu Zi'an wasn't in such a rush to evolve the Brilliant's components to perfect quality anymore.

He would just save the evolution points for now.

Wait until he maxed out his Tier 1 Warrior level and evolved the Brilliant into a Tier 2 frigate.

And evolve them all together then.

No need to rush.

He piloted the Brilliant and stopped in a small asteroid belt.

After confirming there were no traces of humans around.

Xu Zi'an didn't linger.

With a thought.

From a distance of nearly one light-year.

He instantly returned to the Brilliant on Brilliant Island!

Must say, the system's spatial jump was truly awesome.

It was no different from teleportation.

Rest well today.

Prepare for the long journey tomorrow.

This time out.

He had to hunt outside for about half a year no matter what.

Otherwise, coming back every month or two...

The time spent on the road was more than half.

There was no point.

As for the Youth Evolutionist Competition, that was simple.

As for the Youth Evolutionist Competition, that is also simple.
